YouTube is a brilliant source of online information. To extract those data from YouTube requires a bit of web crawling and web scraping – and it’s surprisingly straight forward to do in ScrapeStorm. Here I’m going to use ScrapeStorm to extract video information.

Introduction to the scraping tool

ScrapeStorm is a new generation of Web Scraping Tool based on artificial intelligence technology. It is the first scraper to support both Windows, Mac and Linux operating systems.

Let’s take a closer look at how to scrape YouTube video details. Let’s take the funny video search page as an example. The specific steps are as follows:

1. Download and install ScrapeStorm, then register and log in

(1) Open the ScrapeStorm official website, download and install the latest version.

(2) Click Register/Login to register a new account and then log in to ScrapeStorm.

Tips: You can use this web scraping software directly, you don’t need to register, but the tasks under the anonymous account will be lost when you switch to the registered user, so it is recommended that you use it after registration.
